Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Die beabstandeten Befestigungsflächen bieten die Möglichkeit, dass der Achsanschluss größere Kräfte übernehmen kann, da genügend Flächen z. B. für Schweißnähte vorliegen.The spaced mounting surfaces offer the possibility that the axle connection can take greater forces, as sufficient areas z. B. exist for welds.

Bei einer ersten Ausführungsform sind die Befestigungsflächen auf Befestigungslaschen angeordnet. Als eine Maßnahme zur Festigkeitssteigerung ist vorgesehen, dass die Befestigungslaschen Bestandteil eines u-förmigen Achsanschlusses sind. Ein Verbindungssteg zwischen den Befestigungslaschen des u-förmigen Achsanschlusses ist mit einem radialen Abstand zum Zylinder angeordnet. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass Befestigungsmittel, die die Befestigungslaschen verspannen, diese dabei überlasten.In a first embodiment, the attachment surfaces are arranged on mounting straps. As a measure to increase the strength is provided that the fastening tabs are part of a U-shaped axle connection. A connecting web between the fastening tabs of the U-shaped axle connection is arranged at a radial distance from the cylinder. This prevents fasteners that clamp the mounting straps, thereby overloading them.

Eine weitere oder alternative Maßnahme kann darin bestehen, dass der Achsanschluss eine zwischen den Befestigungslaschen angeordnete Verstärkungsplatte aufweist. Auch die Verstärkungsplatte hält den Abstand zwischen den Befestigungslaschen unter allen Umständen ein.A further or alternative measure may be that the axle connection has a reinforcing plate arranged between the fastening straps. Also, the reinforcing plate keeps the distance between the mounting tabs under all circumstances.

Man kann auch vorsehen, dass die Befestigungslaschen stirnseitig mindestens eine Querstrebe aufweisen. Durch zusätzliche Verbindungen zwischen den Befestigungslaschen entsteht ein deutlich verfestigter Achsanschluss.It can also be provided that the fastening straps have at least one transverse strut at the front. Additional connections between the fastening straps result in a significantly strengthened axle connection.

Um eine möglichst großflächige Anbindung des Achsanschlusses an den Zylinder zu erreichen, ist mindestens eine der Befestigungslaschen über einen Trägersteg mit dem Zylinder verbunden. Der Trägersteg bietet günstige Vorraussetzungen für Schweißnähte zum Zylinder.In order to achieve the largest possible connection of the axle connection to the cylinder, at least one of the fastening straps is connected to the cylinder via a carrier web. The carrier bar offers favorable conditions for welds to the cylinder.

Zur besseren Abstützung der auftretenden Kräfte ist der Konturenverlauf des mindestens einen Trägerstegs der Außenkontur des Zylinders angepasst.For better support of the occurring forces of the contour of the at least one support web of the outer contour of the cylinder is adjusted.

Im Sinne einer großen Gestaltfestigkeit ist der Trägersteg endseitig mit einem Versteifungskragen versehen.In terms of a great structural strength of the support web is provided at the end with a stiffening collar.

Damit die Schweißnaht zwischen dem Trägersteg und dem Zylinder bei der Verwendung mehrerer Befestigungsmittel günstig belastet wird, weist der Trägersteg randseitig eine segmentierte Schweißnahtkontaktfläche zum Zylinder auf.So that the weld seam between the carrier web and the cylinder is favorably loaded when using a plurality of fastening means, the web has a segmented weld seam contact surface on the edge of the cylinder.

B. einem Radträger verbunden und weist einen radialen Achsanschluss 5 auf, der von dem Achsteil außenseitig zumindest teilweise umgriffen wird. Dafür verfügt das Achsteil 3 über einen Hohlraum 7 zur Aufnahme des Achsanschlusses 5.The group of figures Fig. 1a to 1e show simplifies a cylinder assembly 1, as z. B. is used in a vibration damper. The cylinder assembly 1 is connected to an axle part 3, z. B. a wheel carrier and has a radial axle connection 5, which is surrounded on the outside at least partially by the axle. For this, the axle part 3 has a cavity 7 for receiving the axle connection 5.

In dieser Ausführungsform besteht der Achsanschluss 5 aus radial zum Zylinder ausgerichteten Befestigungslaschen 7a, 7b, auf denen beabstandete Befestigungsflächen 9a, 9b für das Achsteil 3 angeordnet sind. Die Befestigungslaschen 7a, 7b bilden zusammen mit einem Quersteg einen u-förmigen Achsanschluss 5, wobei ein Quersteg 11 in einem Abstand zu dem Zylinder 13 angeordnet ist. Beide Befestigungslaschen 7a, 7b verfügen über deckungsgleiche Durchgangsöffnungen 15 für Befestigungsmittel 17, die in diesem und in den folgenden Ausführungsbeispielen von Spannschrauben gebildet werden. Alternativ sind auch andere bekannte Befestigungsmittel wie z. B. Nietverbindungen denkbar. Die Befestigungsmittel 17 spannen Anschlussflächen 19 des Achsteils 3 auf die Befestigungsflächen 9a, 9b des Achsanschlusses 5 vor.In this embodiment, the axle connection 5 consists of fixing lugs 7a, 7b aligned radially with respect to the cylinder, on which spaced mounting surfaces 9a, 9b for the axle part 3 are arranged. The fastening straps 7a, 7b, together with a transverse web, form a U-shaped axle connection 5, wherein a transverse web 11 is arranged at a distance from the cylinder 13. Both fastening tabs 7a, 7b have congruent through openings 15 for fastening means 17, which are formed in this and in the following embodiments of clamping screws. Alternatively, other known fastening means such. B. rivet connections conceivable. The fastening means 17 bias connection surfaces 19 of the axle part 3 onto the attachment surfaces 9 a, 9 b of the axle connection 5.

Mindestens eine Befestigungslasche 7a, 7b ist über einen Trägersteg 21 mit dem Zylinder 13 verbunden, wobei der Konturenverlauf des mindestens einen Trägerstegs 21 der Außenkontur des Zylinders angepasst ist. Schweißnähte 23 an kantenseitigen Schweißnahtkontaktflächen 25 des Trägerstegs 21 sorgen für eine Kraftübertragung von dem Achsanschluss 5 auf den Zylinder 13.At least one fastening tab 7a, 7b is connected via a carrier web 21 to the cylinder 13, wherein the contour profile of the at least one carrier web 21 is adapted to the outer contour of the cylinder. Welds 23 on edge-side weld contact surfaces 25 of the carrier web 21 provide for power transmission from the axle connection 5 to the cylinder 13.

Die Figurengruppe 2a bis 2e zeigt einen Achsanschluss 5 gemäß der Figurengruppe 1a bis 1e, bei dem verschiedene festigkeitssteigernde Maßnahmen durchgeführt wurden, die unabhängig voneinander einsetzbar sind. So ist insbesondere in den Figuren 2c und 2d eine Verstärkungsplatte 27 erkennbar, die zwischen den Befestigungslaschen 7a, 7b tangential zum Zylinder 13 eingeschweißt ist. Die Verstärkungsplatte 27 verhindert zusätzlich eine Abstandsverkürzung der Befestigungslaschen 7a, 7b aufgrund der Vorspannung innerhalb der Befestigungsmittel 17. Des weiteren verfügt der Achsanschluss über mindestens eine stirnseitige Querstrebe 29 zwischen den Befestigungslaschen 7a, 7b. In diesem Fall wird die Querstrebe 29 von einer stirnseitigen Verlängerung einer Befestigungslasche 7a, 7b gebildet, die in Richtung der anderen Befestigungslaschen gebogen und mit dieser verschweißt ist.The group of figures 2a to 2e shows an axle connection 5 according to the group of figures 1a to 1e, in which various strength-increasing measures were carried out, which can be used independently. So is in particular in the Figures 2c and 2d a reinforcing plate 27 can be seen, which is welded between the fastening tabs 7a, 7b tangentially to the cylinder 13. The reinforcing plate 27 additionally prevents a shortening of the distance of the fastening tabs 7a, 7b due to the bias within the fastening means 17. Furthermore, the axle connection has at least one end-side transverse strut 29 between the fastening tabs 7a, 7b. In this case, the transverse strut 29 is formed by an end extension of a fastening tab 7a, 7b, which is bent in the direction of the other fastening tabs and welded thereto.

Die Fig. 2e zeigt, dass der Trägersteg 21 mit einem Versteifungskragen 31 versehen ist, der zusätzlich die Gestaltfestigkeit des Achsanschlusses 5 erhöht. Im Bereich der Schweißnaht 23 zum Zylinder 13 ist der Trägersteg randseitig mit einer segmentierten Scheißnahtkontaktfläche 25 versehen. Damit wird die Krafteinleitung von den Befestigungsmitteln 17 in den Zylinder 13 spannungsärmer gestaltet.The Fig. 2e shows that the carrier web 21 is provided with a stiffening collar 31, which additionally increases the structural strength of the axle connection 5. In the region of the weld seam 23 to the cylinder 13, the carrier web is provided at the edge with a segmented dummy seam contact surface 25. Thus, the introduction of force from the fastening means 17 in the cylinder 13 is made lower stress.
